85: Chapter 85 Manila's new customer order is a bit small

After failing to contact customers twice in a row, Mannila did not choose to give up. After speaking with Li Yi about the weapons and equipment available for sale, he immediately used his connections to contact Colonel Hafat, a high-ranking official in the Palestinian armed forces.

"Colonel Hafat, I wonder if you are interested in a new type of 'Tianlei' Series Anti-Aircraft Missile? This anti-aircraft missile participated in the battle at the Raqqa Military Base and shot down several USA fighter jets."

Mannila stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point. Those who should know about the battle at the Raqqa Military Base already knew, and those who didn't know wouldn't find out.

"The anti-aircraft missiles used at the Raqqa Military Base?" Colonel Hafat asked in surprise upon hearing this.

"Yes. These are the anti-aircraft missiles that shot down Black Hawk Helicopters and F-16 Fighter Jets."

"Will the arms dealer sell to us?" Colonel Hafat inquired.

Palestine had few sources for weapons and equipment. Many arms dealers were unwilling to sell to Palestine. On one hand, it was because Palestine was indeed poor and offered little profit; on the other hand, they were wary of the USA and Israel finding out, which could lead to investigations for unknown reasons, resulting in greater losses for a small profit.

"They should be willing to sell," Mannila couldn't guarantee, so he only speculated.

"If the arms dealer is willing to sell, our side will procure a batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles," Colonel Hafat said without hesitation.

"I wonder what the total amount of anti-aircraft missiles you will procure is?" Mannila wanted to get a clear picture of the situation.

"We just received a grant of 120 million USD. We can use 100 million USD to procure Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles."

Colonel Hafat said after some consideration. Since Palestine's land was occupied by Israel, there were no industries to develop, and they could only survive on foreign aid. This grant was from Diga Country, and the amount was not very large.

"100 million USD?" Mannila was a bit disappointed. "Alright, I will communicate with the arms dealer first. If the arms dealer agrees to the sale, you send someone to Beirut for negotiations."

"No problem." Colonel Hafat lacked confidence and could only wait passively.

Although Mannila was somewhat disappointed that Palestine only had 100 million USD in procurement funds, he still contacted Li Yi to try and secure this arms order.

"Mannila, is something up?" Li Yi was in a great mood after finishing the arms trade contract with Iran. After all, this was a massive deal worth over 10 billion USD, the largest order he had secured to date.

"Yes. Palestine plans to procure a batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles. I wonder if Chaos Company will sell them to Palestine?" Mannila asked cautiously.

"They can be sold." Li Yi had no reason not to sell and readily agreed.

"It's just that Palestine's procurement amount is relatively small, only 100 million USD."

"100 million USD?" Li Yi looked down on such an order. "How about you settle the terms with Palestine first? You're already clear on the prices and requirements for the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles. Then show me the arms trade contract. If I agree, we can sign and fulfill it directly."

Li Yi didn't want to participate in arms trade negotiations for such a small amount. Since he had to pay Mannila a brokerage fee anyway, he might as well let him handle the negotiations. He would only be responsible for the final review and signing of the contract.

"I'll handle the negotiations? Sure." Mannila readily agreed. If he handled it, he could keep Li Yi from contacting the customer directly. If the customer had more orders in the future, they could come straight to Mannila.

Li Yi no longer concerned himself with the negotiations between Mannila and Palestine.

Mannila quickly contacted Colonel Hafat and said, "Colonel Hafat, the arms dealer has already agreed to sell the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles to your side. Send someone to Beirut for negotiations."

"Great. I will go to Beirut personally." Colonel Hafat was quite happy; there was finally an arms dealer who wasn't afraid of the USA and Israel.

The negotiations between Mannila and Colonel Hafat went very smoothly.

Ultimately, Colonel Hafat placed an order for only 100 sets of Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 400 matching missiles, and 30 sets of Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 60 matching missiles. The procurement amount was exactly 100 million USD.

Colonel Hafat had originally wanted to procure Tianlei Type III to Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missiles, but on one hand, his procurement funds were indeed insufficient this time, and on the other hand, Palestine was under Israel's surveillance. If the anti-aircraft missile units were too large, they would be easily discovered by Israel.

For now, they could only procure Tianlei Type I and Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missiles to ambush Israel's airbases, preventing Israeli fighter jets from taking off easily and wearing down Israel's air force strength.

After Li Yi reviewed the arms trade contract with Palestine, he had no objections and signed his name with a flourish.

Because the procurement amount was relatively small, Colonel Hafat paid the funds in one lump sum. All 100 million USD entered Chaos Company's Swiss Bank account.

Li Yi paid Mannila his 5 million USD brokerage fee for this arms trade. Now, the balance in Chaos Company's Swiss Bank account was 105.3 million USD.

This amount wasn't very large yet; the Swiss Bank shouldn't be looking for ways to seize it.

Li Yi remembered that the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles procured by Syria had not yet been delivered. After signing the contract with Palestine, he immediately contacted Major General Zaha.

"Major General Zaha, the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles your side procured will be delivered tonight. Arrange for your personnel to be ready for reception," Li Yi said directly.

"Where will the delivery be?" After paying the deposit, Major General Zaha had been waiting for Chaos Company to deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles.

"It should be somewhere between Deir ez-Zor and Gaeta. I'll tell you the specific location tonight." Li Yi chose a place near Deir ez-Zor to deliver the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles.

"Alright. I will make the arrangements." Seeing that it was near Deir ez-Zor, Major General Zaha was immediately relieved. This was his territory, and he wasn't worried about any accidents.

In the evening, Li Yi teleported directly from the presidential suite of the Riviera Hotel to the sandy ground by the Euphrates River southeast of Deir ez-Zor using the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

This sandy location was quite remote and uninhabited.

After checking the environment, Li Yi immediately extracted the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles procured by Syria from the Multiverse Arms Trading System and piled them on the sand.

Although the sand was soft, this particular spot was quite firm, preventing the anti-aircraft missiles from sinking in.

Seeing that there were no problems, Li Yi immediately teleported back to the presidential suite of the Riviera Hotel via the Multiverse Arms Trading System.
